Coming Soon

Oil and gas drilling and fracking are coming to Adams
County, with leased areas near your neighborhood. For years, oil and gas companies operating in Colorado have been purchasing the mineral rights next to and under neighborhoods throughout our county.
While there’s no stopping the future drilling, you can make sure this heavy industrial activity is a safe distance from our homes and schools. You can help inform Adams County Commissioners and state legislators that you expect drilling and fracking to be closely monitored and the health of our community and property values to be protected.

This is what it’s like when oil and gas drilling moves into your neighborhood.

63.9% of the county is covered by recently filed active oil and gas leases & mineral rights held by oil and gas companies

18,544 acres of active oil & gas leases & mineral rights are within one mile of a school

47 schools are within 1000 feet of mineral rights held by oil and gas companies

32 schools are within 1000 feet of active oil and gas leases

Already Here: Hunter’s Glen

You may have read in the papers about the Wadley Farms neighborhood, where an oil and gas company already has plans for 20 oil and gas wells next to several homes.
According to County records, that same oil and gas company has leased nearly all of Hunter’s Glen.

Sign on to the petition:

For years, mega-industrial oil and gas drilling has taken place across Colorado in close proximity to homes, schools and hospitals. We need to stand up for our communities’ right to public health and safety — sign the petition to show you believe Coloradans deserve to be protected from the harmful impacts of oil and gas development! While the industry has recently been on the downturn, we need to stay vigilant of residential drilling to protect our communities — every bust is followed by a boom.

I stand with my fellow Coloradans in calling on our elected officials to protect our communities from the harmful impacts of oil and gas development. The dangers presented by heavy, industrial, residential drilling warrant stronger protections, especially if they are near our homes and schools. Oil and gas corporations should not be allowed to threaten our public health, safety, and quality of life in pursuit of profit.
